18. Other pregnancies and births

Some bereaved parents find it distressing to be around expectant or new parents and babies. It can be very hard if another family member or friend is pregnant or has a healthy baby. It can also be difficult for the parents of a new baby; they may feel constrained and unable to celebrate their baby’s arrival as they would like. It is important to recognise and acknowledge this and maybe give bereaved parents a private opportunity to meet your baby when they are ready.
